The small, twisted gold bead that holds the pearl is what sets this piece apart. It catches light from multiple angles, giving a bit of texture to an otherwise smooth and classic design. It’s a detail you notice up close.

A fine, gold-plated cable chain runs straight through a single, barrel-shaped bead. This bead isn't smooth; it has a rope-like texture that twists around its surface. Hanging directly below is one round, 10mm freshwater pearl. The pearl is a clean, bright white with a soft lustre and a smooth surface that reflects a bit of the gold colour from the bead above it.

The core of this necklace is solid 925 sterling silver, which means it's durable enough for regular wear. We plate it with a thick layer of 14k gold to get that warm, yellow colour. Then, we add a clear e-coating over the gold. This is an electrically-applied lacquer that acts as a barrier, protecting the finish from tarnish and scratches. The pearl is a genuine freshwater pearl, so each one will have its own subtle variations.

You'd choose this necklace for its proportions. The 10mm pearl is substantial enough to be seen, but it isn't heavy or overwhelming. It’s a classic pearl pendant, but the little textured bead it hangs from makes it feel more thought-out and less like something you’d find in any jewellery store.
